Closer by Lies
By: I Miss Birdie
Summery: Inuyasha starts at a new school. She meets Miroku Nezumi and they take to each other, but when things get a little close and something personal is revealed to Miroku about Inuyasha's true form, will he pull away and ruin her life forever or will he accept Inuyasha as she is and love her anyway?
Inuyasha walked down the hall. With her books in hand and her head down low she passed mostly guys. As she walked by they would make a comment about how beautiful she was and that he could peg her if he wanted to.
'Just keep walking. They only want to use you.' She told herself with tears evident in her beautiful golden eyes. As she was walking she bumped into something and her books fell. She would have fallen if a strong arm hadn't wrapped around her waist just in time.
"You okay?" She nodded. Her cheeks stained a light pink. Whoever had caught her, helped her stand. "Here." The young man, she could now tell, handed her the fallen books. She took them.
"Thank you, for catching me, before I fell." He smiled which made her blush even more and look away. He laughed a little, quietly.
"No problem. So, are you new here…" He looked at her.
"Inuyasha. My name is Inuyasha Takahashi." He smiled and held out his hand.
"Miroku Nezumi. Nice to meet you Miss Takahashi." She shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you, but you don't need to be so formal, most just call me Yasha." He nodded.
"Alright, Yasha, would you mind if I walked you to class?" She smiled.
'I hope he isn't like all the other guys.' She nodded. "I would like that. My first class is in room 3216." They started to walk in the direction of the said classroom.
"So, Yasha, what brings you here?"
"I needed a change. I wasn't being accepted in my old school so I wanted to change." As they walked some of the other students would point at her and whisper. Apparently Miroku was someone important. "Um, Miroku, if you don't mind me asking, but are you really popular or something? Everyone keeps pointing at me and making nasty comments, especially the girls." He laughed and smiled.
"I am. My family came into some major money last year and every since then all the girls have been really nice to me." He sighed. " I don't like it. Even though I could get any girl I wanted, I don't want them to like me for my money, but for me. Ya know?" Inuyasha nodded. "You're not going to be the same as those other money hungry girls are you?" Inuyasha shook her head.
"No, I don't care about money. My parents have a ton of it anyway. I prefer the companionship over positions anyway." Miroku smiled and reached for her hand. He entwined their fingers together. Inuyasha looked down at the hands and then back at Miroku's face, she blushed and then quickly looked away. She stared down at the ground. He could tell that she was embarrassed but he didn't care. He knew they had only met a few minutes before but they already had a bit in common and he wanted to get to know this girl that had just arrived at his school.
When they stopped, Miroku released her hand and faced her. He leaned in and placed a kiss on her cheek. He was happy to see her cheeks become a light pink. He smiled.
"Meet me out front after school, Yasha, I want to take you to get some ice cream. Okay?" She smiled and clutched her books in her arms.
"I would like that very much, Miroku, thank you." She turned towards the door. "I'll see you after school." He nodded and turned away and began walking down the hallway towards his classroom. 'I hope he's different like he says he is.' Inuyasha walked into her classroom and up to the teacher who was at her desk waiting for the bell to sound to begin class.
"Hello, Miss Takahashi. Welcome to Higurashi High. Why don't you take a seat up front so I can get to know you and that way no one can harass you, for being new." Inuyasha smiled and took her seat. The bell rang and the students all ran in.
Inuyasha took in a deep breath. 'Well, a new day and so far it's going okay. I've already made a friend, maybe something more.' The smile that she wore increased; she blushed when she realized she was thinking about Miroku Nezumi.
Inuyasha walked towards the cafeteria, she was scared when something touched her shoulder, but then clamed down when she turned to find out it was Miroku. Her smiled instantly graced her features.
"Miroku!" He smiled and took her hand in his. She blushed just as she had done this morning when he had held her hand. He kissed her cheek again and they walked into the cafeteria together.
"What do you want for lunch, Yasha?" She turned to the menus that were hanging on the wall. She shrugged.
"I don't mind. What do you want, you know what's best." He laughed.
"How about a salad? That's what I normally have. I get a chicken caesar with a pepsi. How's that?"
"Sounds good to me." They set their things down at a table and walked over to the line that had the salads. They each got one and Miroku got his pepsi and Inuyasha got a Sprite instead. When they went to checkout, what Inuyasha didn't know was that Miroku paid for her.
When they got back to the table Inuyasha sat next to Miroku.
"You know I could have paid for myself." Miroku smiled.
"I know, I just thought I could be nice and get you lunch."
"Well don't do it to often, but thank you." She said the last part looking in the other direction. Miroku smiled.
'Something good is going to come out of this. Well, at least I hope something good happens. I know I just met her today, but she's such a nice person and I love talking to her. We get along so well.' They ate their lunches in silence.
Inuyasha had gone to her next class with a huge smile on her face. When she sat down she frowned at the note that sat on top of her books. She picked it up and read it.
'Just because you're the new girl doesn't give you the right to come in and ruin everything that I've done. Miroku Nezumi is MINE, so back off…or I'll help you along and I won't be nice about it.' Inuyasha crumbled up the note. There wasn't a name and she wasn't sure what she should do.
At the end of the day Inuyasha met up with Miroku outside the school, like they promised.
"Yasha, I've been looking forward to this all day." She blushed and smiled.
"Me too…" she said it quietly but he still heard her.
" Come on, my car is parked over here." He took her hand and led her through the people and over to a red sports car.
"This is your car?" She had an expression of shock on her face. He smiled and kissed her cheek again.
"You like it?" Inuyasha nodded. "I'm glad. Come on, I know this perfect little ice cream parlor that no one really goes to. It's just outside the city." They both got in the car and Miroku started it up and ripped out of the parking lot, leaving all his 'fans' in awe.
Inuyasha order a small vanilla cone and Miroku ordered a milk shake. They were sitting in the corner of the small parlor talking and enjoying each other's company.
"So, Yasha, if you don't mind me asking, have you ever had a steady boyfriend." She smiled and shook her head.
"No, my parents always seem to chase all my guy friends away, so it's never gone further than friends." She smiled. "I'll never understand why." He moved his hand and entwined their fingers together. She blushed.
"They won't chase me away. It'll be too hard to stop being with you." This really made Inuyasha's face turn bright red.
"Miroku, you're so nice to me. Are you being truthful or are you just trying to get into my pants?" He pulled his hand back and a shocked expression covered his features.
"Wow. I wasn't expecting that one." He shook his head. "Look, I'm not like that. I don't just talk to girls so I can have sex with them and then ditch them. That's not right at all. Do you believe me, or do I need to do something that would prove to you that I give you my true words?" She shook her head.
"I don't know what it is, but I trust you so much and I don't think that you're lying to me." He smiled and took her hand back in his.
"Good." They stared into each other's eyes until Miroku broke the silence. "Yasha, can I kiss you?" She smiled, but nodded her head. He leaned forward and their lips met. It was sweet at first, before more passion was shoved behind it.
The two had only met that morning, but there was chemistry there that neither of them had found before.
A/N- Hey….there is a reason as to why Inuyasha is a she….I have a good reason for it….I promise….It is a little weird but I think it'll be good once it's done….let me know what you think and if I should keep going or not….Sayonara
